Beneski Museum of Natural History

Located at Amherst College Massachusetts this museum is a rare gem. You seldom see a college this size hosting such a huge collection. The collection is varied and rather large, the walls are lined with pull-drawers filled with fossils and the main gallery is an impressive array of skeletons of various primitive animals. You will see walls of prehistoric dinosaur footprints embedded in what was once a soft mud surface, now rendered as stone slabs. Literally walls of these displays. The Beneski is the kind of Museum that pulls you into the ancient world in a most visceral way.
